Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 14, 2010 - Vintage Champagne Masterclass (Landmark Hotel. London, U.K.): Round nose of marzipan, red apple, orange rind. Quite exotic.
The palate is dry. Liberal oak here, this has a mix of new oak and wood as old as 25 years. That gives vanilla pod and caramel to the rich round body of this wine. That being said this has huge, just massive acidity that keeps this wonderfully balanced. Very dry but very pure white concentrated fruits. Long mineral rich finish.
This was my favorite wine of the morning, beating out some big players. Pure finesse.

* little tidbit, this wine comes from a single vineyard "Les Sables" of ungrafted chardonnay.
